The F-Word Today

Follow us:WhatsappFacebookTwitterTelegram.cls-1{fill:#4d4d4d;}.cls-2{fill:#fff;}Google NewsFor one week now, I'll be saying the F-word, incessantly. It's going to be a week of fashion. And I'm determined that this season, it'll be me hurtling some f-words at designers who fail to impress. It will be zero tolerance week.

So let's begin at the beginning. With what else but a few lists? So here are my zero tolerance lists - things I will not tolerate from certain designers.

Tarun Tahiliani - If he shows even a micro of an iota of a granule of anything to do with jewelled T shirts or jewelled anything, or sassy dresses with prints, I will hoot. I will say that his great TT logo must reinvent itself to keep its pedestals of grandeur. Otherwise it'll become, I'm very tempted to say, TT underwear.

Suneet Verma - I am willing to live with some corsets, if there's no twist then I shall throw a few tomatoes. I want to see some spice in his Le Spice pret line, I want to see where the great tie-up with Tuscan Verve is going. If he is really the style guru, and has such depth in style history, don't talk, just show me.

Rohit Bal - I demand to see some inspirational stuff from Gudda, please, something. And anymore skirts for men, and the pants will come off the Gudda, the genius theory. If you are a legend, show me legendary stuff. One new idea. And spare me the embellished jackets, I want things people can wear. Real people.

Manish Arora - I can't stand coloured stockings anymore. And shocking colours are lovely but can you go beyond shock please? He has built his international reputation by being different. He better be, otherwise I'll make sure that this man, who called his line Fish Fry, comes out smelling like fried fish.

Raghavendra Rathore - I'm glad he is at the stalls because one more show of bandhgalas and jodhpurs in earth colours and this prince would have to retire. Always wearable but increasingly unexciting - like the opposite of Manish Arora.

JJ Valaya - No gimmicks please and no surreal show. And no shaadi stuff. I want to see how all this talk of new pret lines will play out and what can we wear?

From tomorrow onwards, the ratings game begin. Every show and my ratings on it will be up here. We are going to ruffle many a feather, stay with us.first published:August 30, 2006, 12:30 ISTlast updated:August 30, 2006, 12:30 IST
